Ep. 25: Plant a Seed

Join Paige C. Clark as she sits down with self-titled "Johnny the Farmer" for a deep dive into the connections between gardening, farming, and faith. 

Johnny shares his journey from software to healthcare, and how he ultimately found his calling in sustainable agriculture as a way to truly care for people's health and wellbeing. Paige and Johnny explore biblical themes of the garden, stewardship of creation, and the physical aspects of faith. 

Listeners will be inspired by their discussion on the importance of patience, waiting on the Lord, and finding spiritual renewal in the natural world. Johnny also provides insights on practical gardening techniques rooted in biblical principles, like the deep litter method for chicken coops.

The conversation delves into the dangers of modern industrial agriculture, highlighting issues like the overuse of harmful chemicals. Paige and Johnny encourage listeners to reconnect with growing their own food and pursuing self-reliance as an act of faith.

This episode is a rich exploration of how our physical lives and spiritual lives are deeply intertwined. Get ready to be inspired to cultivate your own gardens, whether literal or metaphorical, as a way to draw closer to God and live out your faith.
